BalticClimate Conference

“Pathfinding through Climate Change”

Riga, Latvia, November 8th-9th 2011.

Today a question about the existence of climate change phenomenon stands no more. Climate is changing and we must learn to live with it. But we believe that it brings not only threats and challenges, but also presents chances and opportunities.
